THE ARCH ANARCHIST.
The Worst Foe fthe Working Gas

The Worst Foe of the N orkins Classes
 Gather up the money that the work ing classes have spent for rum during the last thirty years, and, says Mir. Tal- mage, will build for every working man a house, and lay out for him a gar den, and clothe his sons in broadcloth and his daughters in silks, and stand it his front door a prancing span of sorrels or bays, and secure him a polic.E of life insurance, so that the present home may be maintained after he IS dead. The most persistent, most oyerpowerlng enemy of the working classes Is intoxl- eating liquor. IL is the anarchist of the centuries, and has boycotte1 and is now boycotting the body and mind and soul of American labor. It is to 1t a worse foe than monopoly, and worse than associated capital.
